    The site opens in a hotWeb window.


  2. In the hotWeb window, select the Collaboration menu and then a navigation option.

    Option Description
    Navigate Others can click links and navigate as well.
    Exclusive You are the only one who can navigate.

    Note: hotComm CL guests cannot navigate.

    • Scroll bar. Use your cursor keys to move up and down a page; do not use your scroll bar.
